Service Fees

It is the responsibility of the customer to provide reasonable and safe access for Modern's personnel to read the meters and/or to service and maintain the meters and equipment located on the customer's property.

The electric meter is the sole property of Modern Electric Water Company and may not be tampered with or removed by anyone other than Modern’s personnel. If a meter seal needs to be removed for an electrician to perform some work, permission must be obtained before any work begins. Unauthorized entry by any party, including a licensed electrician, will result in the member being charged a “Meter Tamper” fee. It is also the customer’s responsibility to report broken meter glass or cut meter seals to Modern Electric Water Company immediately.
